Feature Story–the Lede

Don’t judge a book by its cover. This principle holds true for Morningside Senior, Michael Beavers.

On the outside, he may appear intimidating, with a scraggly brown and auburn colored beard; shaggy un-kept hair, and a barreling chest. He looks like a mix between Jack Black and a mountain man. His occasional Bob Marley t-shirt may give you the impression he’s a bit of a hippie. But if you take the time to talk with him, you’ll realize he’s not intimidating at all. He’s fairly mild-mannered, likes to watch South Park, listens to Bob Seger, and is an aspiring elementary school teacher. Yes, a teacher.

Apparently Syria has prepared chemical bombs in anticipation of a battle to the death with Lebanon.

 

I think this article fits well into the “current events” category and is very relevant, especially to the FoxNews.com audience. They talk about Hillary Clinton, the head dude from Russia, and other officials who are working closely with this whole situation. The lede sucks in this article, actually. It talks about Hillary meeting with russia’s leading diplomat. I didn’t wanna continue reading after that, but in order to find out what was going on I kept reading. I’m getting sick of FoxNews.com to be honest. I’m glad this is the last week.
